Abstract
Purpose: The main objective of the study was to examine the effect of order of injunction,
gender and marginalized groups’ rules on the HRM practices in state corporations in Kenya.
Methodology: The study adopted an explanatory research design.
Findings: Results revealed that the order of injunction and gender and marginalized groups rules
affects the human resource practices in State Corporation in Kenya. The particular aspects of
human resource practices that were affected included; human resource planning, recruitment and
selection of employees, performance management, rewards and compensation management,
training and development and employee participation.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study findings will provide an insight
into the effects of order of injunction and gender and marginalized groups’ rules on HRM
practices in the Kenyan public sector and thus serve as a platform for progressive reforms of the
labour laws. This will enable the Legislative organs in the National Assembly, Senate and
County Assemblies enact laws that will facilitate good practices in Human Resource
departments. The Judiciary will also benefit in terms of development of jurisprudence in labour
related cases and come up with policies that will give effect to the Constitution and labour laws
without hindering Human Resource practice and economic development in the Country.
The study findings will also contribute to policy development in terms of restructuring human
resource management in the public sector and labour laws. Further, Educational Institutions will
also benefit especially when developing curriculum in the courses involving HRM, and in
particular impart legal knowledge to the students studying HRM. The study will also add value to
the existing body of knowledge on HRM practices and labour laws. Future researchers in this field
will find this research quite resourceful as part of their literature review.
